"Une chemise" (a shirt) is a feminine word like "une fleur" (a flower)."Une habitude" (a habit) is a feminine word, but "Un habit" (a clothe) is a masculine word.A word with same spelling but different meanings in French/English is called a "faux ami" (false friend).

It is said that when you repeat one action everyday for 21 days it becomes a new habit.On prétend que lorsqu'on répète une action tous les jours durant 21 jours, cela devient une nouvelle habitude.

Since the first day of the year I have used "21 day game 2014" to form a habit of "reading books in French". Also I am doing 10 minute of yoga, "sun salutation" everyday. The game is simple. It is all about deciding on one action, and repeating it everyday. So far, I have kept my words and am enjoying the game. It is a good thing to check everyday because it is also very easy to get out of the habit.

J.-Y. thought "Wacom Inkling Digital Sketch Pen" would be a good gift for my birthday, Christmas, St Valentine or whatever the occasion. He bought it from B&H as it was on Sale, and asked to be delivered to my mother's address in New York. My mother sent it to me with other care packages and I have receive them this week. Thank you mom and J.-Y. for the gifts!
